Years of Summer

Into the mists of ages
Where time like song
Between pages
Gentle skies shine on
Into this ageless land
Across fantasy
Let pillars stand
Halls of sanctuary
What shines on
Darker eyes still shine on
Darker skies still shine on me
Vanaheim speaks
Njord of the deep
Forests so secret
This song I’ll keep
So shine on me
By the loam and fields
In to the frail
Of Wights and the wyrd
We tell this tale
What shines on
So shine on me

The Reddening Part 1
06:03

Could I hide the years when I hear of war
For my wyrd and tears decry
I will watch these dreams from another shore
As I ache for life
Refuse this death, sacred pass the way with ashes I communed and heed
The enemy of the wolf descends, when shadows all appear to bleed
Will you leave my side
For another desire
Another desire
Gollveig passed the faith
Of another desire
Another desire
Turn to scarlet hours
Of another desire
Another desire
To redden these flames
Of another desire
Another desire
By my axe I rise and surge, from your ashes that swirl again
I am the sign to lead the charge, and all his runes I don’t believe in
Three, three times burned
Three, three times born

Ghosts

What must I bare, in the ways of rain,
Comes your arms, to take my strain.
Bathe in war, and moon-lit cry,
Kiss her ruins, I can’t deny.
See our kith, as drums unkind,
So earthen sent, and spite combines.
But speak no more,
Her bones proclaim,
The ghosts we bleed, dance again.
The ghosts we bleed, dance again.
The ghosts we bleed, dance again.
What must we swear, to the way of pain,
Close your eyes, the truth’s distrain.
March to ‘gard, by stars first light,
In scarlet hours, seethe delight.
See my love, lays red and charred,
In memory’s wake, she’ll touch my scars.
But speak no more,
Her bones proclaim,
The ghosts we bleed, dance again.
The ghosts we bleed, dance again.
The ghosts we bleed, dance again.
Forsworn we ride
Forsworn they’ll die

Charge
03:58
|
|||
|
Across the fields of eventide,
All his ravens come defying,
Who we are and what we do
It’s not for them to judge
So I will lead you into this night
By reddened mouths harsh delight
Turn everything they ever had
Back to dust
Fight for a day we never wanted
Pray the fallen are too few
In her name we’re still undaunted
This battle song is all we knew.
Charge
I can’t believe just what I saw
Falling towers and burning shores
They pushed us back against the cliff
If that was all they ever did
We’re overrun
I held my father’s slipping hand
A shield to the sky she’ll understand
A ward of the beating sun.
Fall back
What we’ve lost,
I can’t decide,
Should I live
Should I die.

The Reddening Part 2

We’re coming from the trees
We’re coming from the line
Raised voice into the sky
Bloody vengeance will be mine.
Bloody vengeance will be mine.
We’re chaos weaving
On and on we fight
Oh For the bloody cleaving
Battle into the night
Still there’s no deceiving
Oh We’re chaos weaving
We’re coming from the fields
We’re burning all the towers
Raised swords into the sky
Bloody vengeance will be mine.
Bloody vengeance will be mine.
And on I yearn
War is growing hunger
Vengeance drown in blood
And on I yearn
Gods of ichor and the slaughter
Vengeance like a flood
Vengeance like a flood
Vengeance like a flood
And on I yearn

Requiem for Mimir
07:40
|
|||
|
Oh my fallen brother
Oh my spilled blood
That you would speak for another
If you only could
Like memory on the water
Like the voice of eternity
That I would bless your only daughter
They send your head back to me
Rest at my side weary one
And light the stars for me
Tell what is over has begun
Sleep by the hanging tree.
Speak so sweetly from this well
And dream of our time in this we dwell

The Reddening Part 3

Oh oh oh immortal blood
Oh oh oh so bear my brand
Cast your sword into the fire
See the shadow across the land
The rites of another desire
Still the wolf comes
Led by the father
Led by the brother
And still the wolf comes
Coming in truth
Coming for you.
Oh oh oh take your sword
Oh oh oh take to the field
Your son to the serpent
Who will never yield
In the ways of seidr your servant
Ascension
Ascension

Die For Me
04:03
|
|||
|
Back to mists
Back to stones
Kiss the sky
And still it comes
I move in cycles
I’m always here
I am the end
In reddened swear
Come to me
Come to me
The stars are open
Oh die for me
Die for me
Dream of the ocean
What speaks
In hushed tones
Kiss my lips
And still I come
I see
Wolf teeth and what must be
I see
Won’t you just die for me
